INTEGRATION OF REFINING AND CHEMICAL INDUSTRY ——Development Strategy for Petrochemicals in New Century
With the rapid progress of the national economy in China, petroleum refining and petrochemical industry have grown with leaps and bounds correspondingly in 1990s. The amount of crude oil processed reached 152.39 Mt in 1998, 1.13 times that in 1993. The refining capacity ranks the fourth in the world. Ethylene production was 3.77 Mt in 1998, 1.87 times that in 1993. The capacity of ethylene ranks the sixth in the world. It can be expected that the petrochemical industry in China will develop faster than the refining in 21st century. The basic reason therefore is that petrochemical products can not satisfy the demand of domestic market by far so that there should be a great import. In 1998, for example, imported synthetic resin was as much as 11.71 Mt, of which five bulk plastics were 8.03 Mt. Imported synthetic rubber, synthetic fiber and fertilizer were 0.474 Mt, 1.519 Mt and 1392 Mt, respectively. The situation showed that the domestic market in China has an enormous demand for ethylene, i.e. the total demand for ethylene in 2010 is estimated as 17～18 Mt. Even if the production capacity could be 10 Mt, the self-supporting ratio will only be about 55.5%. Please read the details of this paper in the journal of China Petroleum Processing & Petrochemical Technology.
